New on NJTV - Maxing Out: The Consequences

"Maxing Out: The Consequences"

on

airs: Sunday July 13 at 9:30 am and 7 pm

and Tuesday July 15 at 11:30pm

    

This Week on Due Process 

Parole's denied.  The inmate's forced to serve out his sentence.  It's called maxing out - and it's happening more and more, especially in New Jersey, where inmates max out at twice the national average.

It's designed to be "tough on crime" - but a new national study shows it may have just the opposite effect, with maxed out prisoners more likely to commit new crimes than those released from prison early on supervised parole.

On the next edition of "Due Process," we look at the societal consequences of maxing out with studio guests: Sen. Ray Lesniak, Assemblyman Michael Patrick Carroll and Rutgers Law Prof. Doug Eakeley.

Please join us this Sunday on NJTV!

"Foreclosures: A New Way Out?

on

airs: Sunday May 25 at 9:30 am and 7 pm

and Tuesday May 27 at 11:30pm

    

This Week on Due Process  

The mortgage bubble burst ... And, suddenly, so did your biggest investment!

Should your town be bailing you out in the name of Eminent Domain?

That was Irvington Mayor Wayne Smith's plan - to make Irvington the second municipality in the country to buy up underwater mortgages and keep residents in their homes.

Defeated in the May 13 mayoral race, Smith will leave office July 1, but his proposal will continue to raise debate about one possible way to stem home foreclosures.

The idea - which would have to survive court challenge - is the focus of this week's Due Process.

In the studio: Mayor Smith, Rutgers Law Dean and former Public Advocate Ron Chen and Bankruptcy Lawyer Tim Duggan.

"Day Out? Day's Pay!"

on

airs: Sunday May 18 at 9:30 am and 7 pm

and Tuesday May 20 at 11:30pm

Workers at this Newark Airport Dunkin' Donuts will be eligible for paid sick leave for the first time, beginning this month

    

  

          

              

This Week on Due Process  

You make minimum wage, live from paycheck to paycheck. A day off means a day without pay. So what do you do when you're sick? It's a question none of us would want to face, and it may be less than fair. But is it up to the government to make it right?

That question - at the heart of a growing movement to force private employers to give sick leave with pay to ALL workers - is the focus of this week's edition of "Due Process."

New York City's on board, and so are Newark and Jersey City, whose new mandates may make a real difference for the working poor. We take to the streets and shops and even Newark airport to talk to workers and employers, while, in the studio, a heated debate features New Jersey Citizen Action Executive Director Phyllis Salowe-Kaye, Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop, and Jack Mozloom of the National Federation of Independent Business.

  

You'll want to join us!

   "Junius Williams: Unfinished Agenda"

on

airs: Sunday April 20 at 9:30 am and 7 pm

and Tuesday April 22 at 11:30pm

Junius Williams with his old friend and one-time mentor, Tom Hayden (Early 60's)

This Week on Due Process

His life mirrors the movements of the last half century.  From southern segregation and civil rights work in the South to organizing against inequality in the North; from the call to black power to the disappointment of electoral answers.

Junius Williams' new book "Unfinished Agenda: Urban Politics in the Era of Black Power," traces the American scene of the last half century through his own life story: in the Movement, in the law, in urban politics and in Newark - the city he came to organize ... and never left.

As you'll see in this edition of Due Process, it's a story so emblematic that the Smithsonian Institution invited Junius - and his onetime mentor, Tom Hayden - to share a personal and political history of the last 50 years.

It's a Due Process you won't want to miss.

New on NJTV - Scottsboro: Justice Delayed, Justice Denied

"Scottsboro: Justice Delayed, Justice Denied"

on

airs: Sunday February 9 at 9:30 am and 7 pm

and Tuesday February 11 at 11:30pm   

The Nine Scottsboro Defendants with their lawyer, Sam Leibowitz, in an Alabama Prison in 1931

  

This Week on Due Process  

It was one of countless cases of southern injustice.  Of black men falsely accused of raping white women.  Of lynchings, legal and otherwise.  Of innocent black defendants imprisoned - and worse.

On this week's edition of Due Process: the infamous case of The Scottsboro Boys, nine black teens, who, double-damned by Depression and Jim Crow, guilty of nothing more than riding the rails, found themselves sentenced to die.

Late last year, the State of Alabama issued posthumous pardons.  The Scottsboro Boys were finally exonerated - more than 80 years too late.

We look at how they were framed, how they were freed after long years in prison, and how players as varied as the Communist Party, the NAACP and the U.S. Supreme Court all did their part.

Helping us understand the Scottsboro tragedy - and how far we have - or have not - come since: Rutgers Law Professor Taja-Nia Henderson, an expert on race and incarceration, and Rutgers-Newark Historian James Goodman, author of the seminal work, "Stories of Scottsboro," a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.

It's a Black History Month special you won't want to miss.  Please join us on NJTV this Sunday at 9:30 and 7, or Tuesday night at 11:30.
